The Cost Of Shooin1 Q Fly,

Twenty dollar subscriptions were asked
for Ito make good the damage by fire to
the Methodist church,. and this being
next to the maximum limit the responses
were not coming in very fast. The solic-
itors were moving up and down the aisles
with eagle eyes looking for mods of assent
or the transfer of the little green bills.
They were not very particular in what
shape the money came-so it did come.
In the midst Of a depressing lull lone fly
that had been soaring high in the vaulted
auditorium seemed TO take in the situa-
ton and concluded to descend and lend a
hand in the effort. He singled out portly
and stiff backed former Congregationalist
from Derby from the congregation and
began his persuasive endeayors upon him.
Quietly and good naturedly he worked
away, caressing his nose and fondling his
lips, until finally getting a good oppOrtu-
nifty he gave bite upon the nose, and
with a vigor that showed that he meant
business and would not he trifled with.
1t had the desired effect The good
brother waved his hand, the solicitor
caught the mot o. and down went the
brothers name for a $40 subscription, the
OF which caused general
rejoicing. 1t is said the brother feels ag-
grieSed, but will stick to the ofer.-An-

When for All instant that which long has lain
Beyond our reach Is On 4 sudden found
IN things of smallest COMPASS and we hold
The unoounded shut In one small minutes space,
And worlds within the hollow Of our hand
world of music in one word Of love
A world Of love in one quick worthless look. !,
world OF thought in one translucent phrsse,
world OF memory in one mournful chord.
A world Of sorrow in one little song
Such moments are mans holiest-th- divine
And first sown seeds of loves eternity.

and the last news received at Brussels. by

Austrian compartment. will be particularly
brilliant in regard to Its china and glass
wares; its lace and stuffs; its jewe!ry: its
furniture and its ironmongery. The Bel
gians possessing at high degree the SYM
pathieS of the Austrian nation. may rely on
the support. which all the manufacturers
OF the Danublan shores. will bring TO the
great Brussels concourse. Their brilliant
resources and their remarkable riches. will
most certainly. be an exceptional attraction
at cur exhibition. and will greatly stimulate
the zeal of the rival nations.
We hope that America will also par
take" to ''our" Cthe Belgisml great con-

child-very well. IIa-mu," he cried, lift
ing his index finger, and four or five thou
sand big chests, all full Of silver gold or
fine clothing, made their appearance.
At the sight Of them the student bowed
down, so that he almost buried his face in
the ground. lie shed tears Of joy, and
sobbed Thanks thanksr'
The genius laughed very heartily at
him and asked: is it really possible that
in so covetous heart rs thine there are no
more desires' wonder if you can imag-
inc anything further TO ask?''
The student, without lifting his head,
replied:
LAS yon say, I have indeed a very
small thing 10 ask you. but nothing nearly
- important rs gold, silver, clothing,
houses or store rooms. beg of you, en-
treat you-it is such very little thing,
you can satisfy me so easily"
And as his face became all covered with
perspration through the agony Of hts
anxiety, the genius answered him with q
frown:
Let me hear-let me hear what this
little thing is which You think is not
nearly SO important as gold, silver, cloth
ing, houses or store roomsr'
At these words the student, full Of JOY,
cried out:
What would surpass all your other
favors and benefits would be-would be
to cut off your august finger and give 1t
to me-"
Then the genius, unable to endure any
more, asked himself if he ought not forth
with to destroy tfat man.
BY this funny story it may be perceived
that all men in this world are like the
student; when they are rich they still pur-
sue riches, and their covetousness becomes
their ruin. II. on the other hand, they be
in want they keep lamenting their poverty;
and as they only aggravate their position
thereby, their lamentations make them
appear stupid

Such is the mysterious art OF the genius
gifted with a supernatural power which
he is able TO use as he pleases. In this
story, where the magician lifts his finger,

demanding only the half instead Of the
whole-is there not good sound moral

The late Henry Tilden." says the A.
bany Ercning Journal. who managed the
canvass which resulted in Mr.. Tilden's
election TO the governorship. said at the
close of the contest in the Delavan house.
in the presence OF gentlemen who still live
and recall his words. that the democratic
party had paid a great deal more for the
prohibition vote than il was worth. He de-
clared that it had paid for some OF the ex-
penses of the prohibition convention and
had paid number Of other expenses. and
then the prohipitionists had demanded pay
for printing their pastors and their tickets.
We have not particle Of doubt that the
expenses Of the tent meetings and of the
election canvass generally of the prohibi-
ton party are paid for from the funds of
the democracy and the Liquor Dealers as
sociation." There have been suspicious in
Ohio that prohibition campaign expenses
were met with democratic money. and it
seems pretty certain that the money was
wasted. The prohibitionists are now get
ting their only recruits from the democratic
ranks.
